After Jason and Travis, Mama Kelce is also heading to Hollywood! Back in July, Donna Kelce, 72, appeared in a behind-the-scenes video for the highly anticipated Kansas City Chiefs romantic movie — ‘Holiday Touchdown.’ It was later confirmed that she was set to appear in the movie, though it wasn’t clear what role, if anything major, she was playing. Well, the suspense can finally rest, as her acting debut is just around the corner.

On the latest episode of ‘New Heights,’ Jason and Travis Kelce shared this heartening update. For their ‘New News’ segment, it was a particularly heartwarming addition, given how excited the two seemed. “Heyo! Momma Donna,” were the first words out of Travis’s mouth when Jason excitedly brought it up.

This debut is set to take place on Saturday, November 30th, Jason stated. It will be broadcast on the Hallmark channel as part of their ‘Countdown to Christmas’ special.

“Mama Kelce, she, um, owns a barbecue joint,” Travis said about on-screen Donna, though this character seems to be quite the opposite of her. “Mom can cook a lot of things, I don’t think she has ever made barbeque sauce,” Jason clarified.

“She never made barbeque for us,” Travis doubled down.

However, since Donna is a manager of a barbecue shop, we can assure the brother duo that the talent for making barbecue sauce is not necessary. She was actually seen offering advice in the trailer. So, her role might just be that of a manager who is also good at helping others navigate life

You can tune in at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT to catch this Hallmark film. Notably, Hallmark joined forces with the NFL to bring this movie to life, which will feature a not-your-typical love story between a director of fan engagement and a superfan. And if you haven’t guessed it already, they are both involved with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Tyler Hines will play the director of fan engagement, while Hunter King will play the superfan.

Samnur first started following football after Tom Brady's cameo in Ted 2. It wasn’t long before he found himself grabbing a bucket of popcorn to enjoy football games. He still vividly remembers his first-ever fixture: a 2011 matchup between the Patriots and Raiders, where Brady led his team to a 31-19 victory. Even so, Samnur believes Brady’s best performance came against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI, a game he still revisits from time to time. Samnur diligently follows most NFL athletes, their family members, and even the NCAA. Thus, he considers himself a diverse writer, having covered almost every corner of the football world. He does, however, have a special interest in athlete-centric stories. Whenever they engage in off-field ventures or charitable activities, Samnur enjoys reading and writing about them. Samnur had already authored over 850 NFL-based articles before becoming an editor. His editorial journey began just a little over a year ago.
